possession q copper half GEN. piece OF
the first issue of United States copper
coins dated 1909. These coins are now
purchased at fabulous prices by cuin
collectors.
At the present writing it does not APP
pear that the Yankton patriots who
went to Bismarck for official plumber
will have much in their bags when they
get home. Possibly they are not now
cunning for democratic governors as
vigorously as they were before the be-
ginning.
A metal roof is being fitted to the
building which was moved from First

the official mandate has been disre-
garded.

Last fall the extensive New York seed
! house Of Peter Henderson & Co., prob
ably the largest in the country, offered a
premium of ten dollars for the best
watermelon and a like premium for the
best boshel OF potatoes, competition
open to the entire United States and
territories. g. A. Smith, of the No
Gregor farm, in YsnktoD county, was q
competitor for these prizes and he has
just received word from headquarters,
accompanied by q draft, that he is the
winner of both prizes. Yankton county
is glad to share with Mr.. Smith the
glory of this victory. His ability as q
farmer combined with our prolific soil
produced the result.
The temperance meetings now in
progress surpass in interest the anticl-
patlons OF the most sanguine. Nearly
every home in Ysnkton is being reach
ed. Last night the church was crowded
almost to suffocation, and the indica-
tions OF deep concern upon the great
Question Of prohibition and of increas-
lag interest in all departments OF the
work were more apparent than ever.
The leader Of these meetings, Col.
Woodford, can not be too highly com
mended for wisdom, mastery eioquence
and true, unwavering devotion to the
cause he go nobly champions. He is in
love with men and seems ready to give,
if needs be, his very life to liberate them
from their cups and lead them TO the
world's Redeemer. Our city is more
reluctant to part with him than any
man whose stay has been of so brief
duration. The prayars and the hearts
